I'm grateful!

Believe it or not, I am grateful for things.

I know, I'm such a monstrous ingrate. How can I be grateful for anything? But it's true. I even have a blog (long since written in) about things I'm grateful for.

And I may have said this before, but I am grateful for forgiveness and apologies. Not many people seem to be fond of using either of these for some reason. But, when we use these, they're freeing. If you say you're sorry and you're actually sorry, how are your shoulders feeling? Lighter?

When you forgive someone, especially when they haven't said sorry...that's powerful. And amazing.

I'll admit, there have been two points in my life where I would really have liked an apology. It was actually hard for me to forgive, but when I finally did? Wow. I mean, it's still not perfect. I get mad sometimes, but for the most part, I've saved myself so much hurt and anger. God will handle it. Heck, maybe their own conscience will handle it.

But anyway, I'm grateful for these things. Hopefully we can all learn to use them way more often than we do.
